Canada And Space Are A Natural Fit.

I Went To Military College In Canada And Graduated As An Officer In The Navy But Also As An Engineer.

Well, My Father Was In The Army And We Traveled Quite A Bit When I Was Growing Up, And I Thought That I Would Like To Have A Military Career, Although I Was Drawn More Towards The Navy.

I Am Not As Eloquent As Stephane Dion.

You're In Orbit Over The Earth. And Suddenly It's Very, Very Quiet. It's Dramatic. You Realize You're Floating In The Straps In Your Chair. And You Take Off Your Seat Belt And Float Over To The Window And Look Out, And You Realize, "i'm Not Looking At A Picture, Here." I Couldn't Process It All. Even If I Forget Everything Else In My Life, That Will Stay With Me, Burned Into My Brain Until The Day I Die.

Canada's A Huge Country, So To Be Able To Unite The Country Through Communication Satellite Technology Or To Be Able To Observe It Through Remote Sensing Technology From Space Is A Natural Fit For A Country Like Canada.
